Well what started out to be a wet spring has ended up as a hot and dry summer with most of the clover and alfalfa drying up here in South Dakota.The sunflowers also will not produce necter at 95--100* The good strong hives did make a fair amount of honey before it dryed up so bad.We have been busy pulling the honey and stockpileing it to be extracted later taking advantage of the warm weather to take off honey. So if anyone knows a rain dance do a little jig for S.D. Well you know the saying,The bee that makes the honey does'nt hang around the hive, got to go, Bruce
